Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health is the only accredited
school of public health in New York City and one of the first in the
country. Throughout its history, the Mailman School has been a global

Today, with six academic departments and 17 centers, the School is
addressing some of the most intractable public health and public health
policy problems ever encountered. The School's world-class faculty are
engaged in work in areas as diverse as HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted
diseases, tobacco use, health care policy, cancer, reproductive health,
violence, environmental health, asthma, clean water, emerging infections,
and bioterrorism, to name only a few. Disease prevention and health
promotion, two of the primary functions of public health, are central to the
School's mission.
